In a shocking statement, former Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski claimed that ICE agents would be present at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show featuring global superstar Bad Bunny, reportedly to deport undocumented attendees. The remarks immediately sparked outrage among fans, players, and the sports community.
Dak Prescott, quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, publicly responded to the claims: “We stand with the fans and do not support politicizing music and sports!” Prescott’s statement reflects growing concern among NFL players and teams about the mixing of politics with major entertainment events.
Social media quickly erupted with reactions from fans and celebrities alike, many condemning the suggestion and defending the Super Bowl as a celebration of music, sports, and unity. Bad Bunny, known for his inclusive and socially conscious music, has not yet commented on the controversy, but his team has promised to address the issue in the coming days.
The NFL has also remained silent so far, though insiders say league officials are closely monitoring the situation and considering an official statement to reassure fans that the event will remain safe and welcoming to everyone.
The controversy has already become one of the most discussed topics online, raising questions about how large-scale events handle political tensions and the role of entertainers in representing cultural diversity on a global stage.
